Overview

Massachusetts Broadband Institute (MBI) is committed to bring affordable, reliable high-speed internet to every home in the Commonwealth.

The need for broadband in the 21st century is often compared to the need for electricity or phone service in previous centuries. Connectivity is a foundational pillar of a competitive economy. Broadband and Digital Inclusion are essential to fully participate in today’s society and critically important for our future prosperity. Achieving Internet for All will empower everyone in the Commonwealth to fully engage in their communities and realize their full potential.

We want to hear your voices as we shape the State Digital Equity Plan and 5-year Strategic Broadband Action Plan.

Internet for All Listening Tour

On June 13, 2023, the MBI announced the Internet for All Listening Tour, a series of regional meetings and focus groups that will inform the development of federal funding plans that will help Massachusetts access broadband and digital equity funding from the federal Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. The listening sessions, which will start in September, are an opportunity for the public to share their experiences, ideas, and vision for a connected Massachusetts, tackling key questions around internet access, adoption, affordability, digital skills training, and device availability. In addition, focus groups will gather input directly from covered populations and underrepresented communities identified by the federal programs. Join us as we kick-off our state listening tour by attending one of the upcoming sessions listed below.
